Strange Lack of Power

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if anyone has ever come across something similar to what I have now experienced twice.
When pulling off this morning in my rocco I slowly moved in first then put my foot down to speed up to make a gear change, the car didn't respond at all it just kept crawling at about 2mph. no matter where the accelerator pedal was positioned the speed and revs remained the same. I dipped the clutch and went back into first and I got some response, but drove like a slug for the rest of my journey to work?
some additional information I park facing up hill (not particularly steep) and the car is the 1.4 160 Manual, I live in wales so it was of course raining and around 5 or 6 degrees, this has happened to me at least once before
Thanks
